The Gilbert Scott

Marcus Wareing's addition to the Renaissance is both plush and relaxed equally. High quality service as you'd expect from restaurants of this ilk and it didn't disappoint. Amazing staff, full COVID measures in place and we felt very safe and distanced from other diners but still managed to keep the opulent ambience. Food was incredible at every stage and they were able to accommodate our dietary requirements. The soup was delicious and i enjoyed the lamb croquettes. The sourdough is a delicious and generous portion of 8 slices! Steak was served with a very good green peppercorn sauce and the sea bream with lobster sauce (with extra lobster meat) was a stand out dish. If you love bone marrow, you are in for a treat, one of the few places that get it right, I'm still thinking about mine a few days later. All of the desserts looked great and the salted caramel tart and espresso ice were amazing. Staff were faultless. Lovely for a relaxed evening meal.

I had my 18th birthday here in 2014 with my family at the chefs table. Wonderful experience, definitely something I'd recommend. Every course came with a glass of wine to match perfectly with the food we were eating. We had our own waiter who was very entertaining and with every course we had a chef tell us exactly what we were eating. The atmosphere is lovely and the bar is beautiful.

The restaurant is spectacular with a relaxed, intimate atmosphere with low light and jazz music that combines to enhance the moment. If I had to repeat the occasion I would do so with pleasure. The service was excellent, every time we had empty glasses, and without asking, they were full again thanks to the kindness of the waiters, attentive to our movements or gestures, something that we appreciated very much. I recommend The Gilbert Scott in London for any event, even if just to celebrate life itself. To summarise, each of us spent around 65 GBP, having asked for additional items. Perhaps we could have ordered more, but what we chose was more than enough for this occasion.

Beautifully presented, delicious food served in a beautiful building by lovely staff. I really enjoyed my lunch, it felt very special without being too formal. I especially liked how my 8 year old child was treated and how everyone at the table was served attentively. I highly recommend eating here. The set menus are comparable in price to a gastro pub in the countryside but a la carte is available too. I think you get excellent quality for your money here. The restaurants own photos are much more representative than the snaps from my phone.
